eh. But also filters people who are serious about work but also serious about their mental health.

I know myself well enough to know that I am less productive when I don't get sunlight. I suspect many other people are the same.

The results of Seattle area companies beg to differ. I live in Seattle and I find that if I walk outdoors during the day at least once per day, I'm fine.

What does mental health of people living there have to do with the success of a few companies?

There are successful companies that eat their workers alive, employee happiness isn't related with their success in a lot of cases.

Tech companies can only produce what their employees output. If people were so miserable in Seattle there's no way that any company based there would thrive enough to be a top company in the world.

I used to live in Seattle and that was a major contributing factor that caused me to move to Atlanta.
